According to the Schwab web site: "In general, the option holder has until 4:30 p.m. CT on expiration day to exercise the contract. These times are set by the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), the central clearing house for the options market. But some brokerage firms might have an earlier...

Tesla found the following issues: "VCFRONT_a249_coolantValveBadMode, DIR_a202_excessHeatUnavailable, DIR_a126_limpMode,DIR_a103_lowFlow. They drained the cooling system and evacuated the air conditioning system. They replaced the Super-Bottle, vacuum filled the cooling system and charged the...

Given that it is a 2020 model with only 17,200 miles I can't see how it wouldn't be covered by warranty. At least I hope so.

I have a visit scheduled with the Des Moines service center this coming Monday, November 1st. I'll report back on the results of that visit.

Last Monday (Oct. 12th, 2022) we were about 30 minutes away from the Dayton, OH Supercharger on the second leg of our trip from Maryland to Iowa on I70. The car started slowing down and a message displayed saying speed limited to 54 mph but that it was safe to continue to drive. Also, at this...

I am a Fanboy! That being said I found V11 painful to behold. Previous versions were not perfect but V11 was a down grade for me. In general the designers of V11 need training in Human Factors Engineering. It is an engineering discipline that is based on principles of human physiology and...

One other thing about putting off supply of parts to SCs in favor of production is that with Tesla's rate of change the resources for producing legacy parts may disappear. On the other hand, I live in a rural SE Iowa town of ~10,000. At last count there were at least 15 Tesla's here including S...

M3 LD DM FSD. Similar issue after first long distance road trip. Traveled from Iowa to Maryland over three days with 7 charges at Superchargers above 90%. Car software version is 2021.32.22. I’ve used both the in car and app controls for adjusting the charge limit. I just noticed today that...

Thank you for the update. The marks on the grass look fairly dated. Recent marks would be bright orange, yellow and blue depending on the service being marked. There also would probably be flags that have now been removed by lawn mowers.

I'm in Fairfield, Iowa about 23 miles west of Mount Pleasant. We own an M3 LR and before COVID had planned a trip to St. Louis to check out the service center there. At 215 miles it should be no problem for us on a full charge. Hearing that SCs are planned for both Mount Pleasant and Hannibal...

So well written! Our M3 stays in Chill except for demo launches from the bypass on-ramp up to the speed limit. My wife is just as bad as I am when some kid needs to demonstrate their vehicular superiority. Followed a very late model Corvette out of a restaurant parking lot on Saturday. He was...

Also makes more batteries available for solar storage.

The overwhelmingly positive response when we tell people that we have purchased a Tesla. The other day I met an old acquaintance in the grocery store. We were catching up on what we had been doing and it turned out that we were both retired. He asked me what I was doing in my retirement and I...

I found this Tesla Model 3 Road Trip Experience AWD video by Undecided with Matt Ferrell useful:

Futureproof is the exact reason. I'm hoping we get my wife one so that we are both off the gas. A friend of mine picked up his Performance M3 in Chicago on 12/22. I've been away since then and haven't been able to hit him up for a test ride yet. I'm sure it will happen soon though.

Well done! We ordered our cars on the same day and took delivery 2 days apart (me 12/18). We purchased a LR, AWD with FSD. I was informed from the getgo that it would be delivered from the Kansa City Service Center to our home. But when I was told it would arrive in KC on 12/16 and delivery...

I don't think I would call that a small damage. You can see the cord in the side wall. So yes absolutely that tire should be replaced without any argument whatsoever.

I experienced the same result except 'Invalid Parameter - /A:32768'

Picked up our beautiful 2020 (according to the vin) M3LRAWDFSD yesterday at Kansas City Service Center. An employee there told me they were delivering about 20 cars/day through the end of the year. Didn’t ask if that included delivery by truck or just customer pick ups at the Service Center. My...

Thanks for the encouragement! Not sure of the routing yet. My home is in SE Iowa. Still determining my options.

Received update last night from DA with updated delivery date to Kansas City Service Center of 12/16 (today). It was previously 12/19 (Thursday). Delivery to our home was going to be 5 to 7 days. We leave for Christmas with family 12/22 (Sunday). Seemed to iffy. Taking bus to Kansas City...

This site is closed to new registrations due to unexpectedly high cost of maintaining the site.

I'm going through hell with my sister-in-law scaring my wife to death about the EMFs and "dirt electricity" there will be in the Model 3 we have on order. Trying to shame me by saying that I don't care about my wife's health and making my wife promise that she won't ride in the car with me. It...

The problem is that they pretty much always screw you on Diminished Value.

Out here in rural Iowa time was that nearly everyone waved on country roads. Nowadays not so much. However, it sounds like a great tradition to resume between Tesla owners. We have at least 8 current or soon to be MS, MX and M3 owners in a town of about 10,000.

It was for me. I suggest calling (888) 518-3752 (in-house sales). They were very helpful.

Ok, I know that this is hard but sit quietly with the eyes closed for 10 minutes each time after you check for the VIN. This will help to restore your vision and should also settle your heart rate. Then drink a tall glass of cool (not cold) water. IMPORTANT: no stimulants ie caffeine, etc. If...

UPDATE: VIN confirmed. Delivery to Kansas City Service Center scheduled for 12/19. Spoke to SA and got clarification about insurance activation date. She said use 12/19. Insurance is now setup and Tesla has proof of insurance image. SA told me that Carrier Direct Delivery to my location in Iowa...

Payment requested and made. VIN in source! Not in page yet. Requested VIN confirmation from DA. Talked to an electrician yesterday about the charger wiring for the garage. Garage has 100 Amp service from the main panel so I'm good to go for an 80 Amp charger setup. Solar PVs are putting out...

Ok, it was active but now that selection is no longer available under "Manage". I even commented about it to my DA because it was there prior to even receiving a contract. I still haven't received a contract. The DA must have made some change that hid the payment feature. It was different than...

Hmm, my ACH payment function has been active since day one I think. Still no VIN.

Does anyone here have any experience with Carrier Direct Delivery?

Ok, ok, the consensus seems to be the trip to the KC Service Center would be a waste of time. Got it. :) But a little disappointed. Out here in the hinterlands where Teslas are sparse and Superchargers are even sparser the pull for visiting an actual Tesla Service Center is mighty strong.

Wow, this is a caution. I received an invite for orientation from the Kansas City-Manchester service center yesterday (11/27). That location is a 247 mile drive from my home in Iowa. The St. Louis-Chesterfield service center is 215 miles but on a route I've driven many times. The invite implies...

Hmm, I heard from my DA on November 15th after ordering on October 31st. 5 to 8 weeks from order date is the promised delivery.

I'm surprised that I haven't seen more posts mentioning the home Wall Connector as a day 1 accessory. I'm planning on putting in the Tesla Wall Connector with a 100 amp circuit because in rural Iowa there are definitely no Superchargers. It also seems that a set of snow tires or at least a set...

I'm in southeast Iowa. Ordered LR, AWD, FSD, White, White, !9" Sport 10/31. Received SA email 11/15 and informed that I was eligible for Carrier Direct Delivery. Waiting for contract, VIN, etc. Also informed SA that I wouldn't be available to take delivery between 12/22 and 12/27.

Thanks! I didn't think about the temp conversion. I meant about -4°C with worst lows in the -25°C range. Good point about widening my net to include Canadians. They get really serious about cold weather up there. C

Here is the deal guys and gals. Let's hope that the delays we are seeing in our deliveries are due to the fact that they are so overwhelmed with orders both international and domestic that they are going to blow the lid off the Q4 deliveries. As a TSLA stock holder this suits me just fine. Sure...

Not yet. Only that it will be delivered by 12/31/2019 so that I am eligible for the $1875 Federal Tax Credit. Under next steps in my account it says: "We are drafting up your contract and will contact you when you can make your final payment."

Thanks for the comprehensive review. Ordered our M3, LR, AWD, FSD October 31st. Expect delivery sometime in December. Appreciated your comments about cold weather range prediction. What do you mean by cold? Here in Iowa USA we are regularly down in the teens mid winter and it can get into minus...

Just joined TMC. Placed order for Model 3, Long Range, AWD, FSD, Pearl Multi-coat, !9" Sport Wheels, White Seats, 10/31/2019. Contacted by DA on 11/15/2019 and informed I was eligible for Carrier Direct Delivery. I'm located in rural SE Iowa. interestingly the small town of 10,000 I live in...
